That's really all we can do Walter, help you cry. You're all in my prayers, God's will be done doesn't seem to help much when something like this happens, but keep it in your heart, it will bring comfort to you. (Silly emoticons for a time like this, but the best I can do.)
Ok, I'll confess, I did it one time. The first (and last so far) semi-serious relationship I had from here. I was so excited about the feelings I had for this man, I just had to tell everyone! Those feelings had been so long gone for me, I was just so happy I could feel again. Yeah we probably got a little sickening on here at first. It lasted a year, and I have no regrets, it was a good transition for me. I didn't come on here and whine about it when it was over. I have no bad feelings for him. He's probably a good person, for someone else. Or maybe I was just being used, but I allowed it cause I enjoyed it too, so that's not really being used is it?
He's not even on here any more, or I wouldn't even be talking about it now. I don't hold it against anyone when they get all excited and have to tell the world, especially the first time, but my first thought now is here we go again. But the ones who do it every few months, I just have to wonder, do they ever learn from their experience? Some things are better kept to yourself and close friends. People who have to display everything to the whole world do seem to be looking for outside confirmation that should be coming from within.
I don't know, I think I have the right to be discerning about who I like to associate myself with. Some people just don't contribute to my life, and I try to avoid toxic people as much as possible. Negativity is not something I like to be around, it takes from me without giving anything in return.
Define "like" HJF, what do you mean by your question? I don't think anyone likes everybody, I can even love people without much liking them.
You've nailed it HJF, people who are so desparate for a relationship that they will grab hold of anything that comes by, it's really just too sad. If you need someone else that bad to complete you, you'll never find it. You have to be complete in yourself before you can be happy with another.
I think I understand exactly what she's saying. Not that people shouldn't post when they have dates, but that they should save the everlasting love talk till they maybe actually know the person? Just a thought.
I did something like that last Saturday, which started out as a day from hell, I was thinking I had to go to work that afternoon, was so relieved when I realized I was off!
Not a sign of getting senile, but in my case it was a sign of having too much on my mind. Time to chill out. This helps!
If you really love someone, you won't want to be with anyone else. Goes for men and women. I guess there are times when you really love someone, but you're not getting the emotional support from them that you could screw up, but mostly when people cheat it's cause they're not getting what they need from their partner, and when that happens it's time to fix things, one way or another.
When I've said it in the past, the one time I can recall is with my ex, it meant, I've said it over and over and you still don't or won't or can't understand, so really what difference does it make. It does no good to talk when no one is listening anyway.
Bottom line for me is this, don't do anything to make someone else happy. All you'll succeed in doing is making yourself miserable. If you want to change something about yourself to make yoy feel better about you, go for it. But never with the intent of pleasing anyone other than yourself.
Adapting is different, we all have to do that to get along in the world. And adapting to someone else who is important in our lives is just the same. Unless you're doing all the adapting, changing, it should be a two way street. We should never get so set in our ways that another person has no chance to fit into our lives. But if we have to change who we funamentally are for someone else, really what's the point?
I won't change for anyone. I won't not change for anyone either.
We all grow and change, and we all hopefully want to grow in a positive direction. Any changing I do is so I can be more me, a happy, healthy me. A person who doesn't appreciate that doesn't deserve me.
I don't need you to profess undying love when all you want is to get in my pants. Be honest, I might just surprise you. You start talking love and soulmates on the 2nd date, I'm gonna assume you're lying. Or waaaaay too needy.
RE: The worst excuse ever......?
Yeah maybe, when I was 16 for chrissake! Actually even then they didn't work, not till I was 18 or so and really wanted to. Maybe I am just weird?
